CITY COUNCIL.

The first regular meeting OF the Council for
the month was held last night, Mr.. McQuaide
in the Chair, the President being absent Fol-
lowing is a summary of some OF the business
transacted -
Mr.. Bargamin presented the report of the
Superintendent of the Water-works in which
Is a recommendation to store in a lake a GER
tain amount of water during the night when
the pumps are not at work. 1t will be economy
for the reason that the pump is capable OF
thu owing up more water than is supplied by
the present flow to the receiving well. The
lake will accumulate about 100000 gallons. and
that amount can be sent up to the reservoir in
addition to the present quantity without ad-
diuonal expense. Subsequently, Mr.. Barga-
min proposed to appropriate $500 to make the
lake, hut the whole matter was referred to the
Committee.
On motion of Mr.. Bell. $500 was appropriated
to furnish the Poorhouse. The employment
OF matron was authorized, and the Commit
tee directed to make regulations for the gov
eminent and to insure the building for 81 500.
Mr.. ]. B. Woodward from the City School

priated for the purchase ofstone used in i'm

PRIZE wINNE8 FOR THE DISTRICT FAIR.
1t may not be generally known that the
most noted show bull in the State is now
owned in this district. "Hogarth" Is now the
property of Maj. Geo. Chrisman, OF Rocking
ham, Maj. Chrisman having purchased him
last spring from Messrs. Hugh Preston. c. B.
Mcdonald, and Thomas Conrad, of Mongome-
cry county, Hogarth has been exhibited at all
the Southwestern va. fairs, and at Richmond,
and has never failed to win except once. AT
ter hard struggle he was beaten at Roanoke
city once by the great Shorthorn 18th Duke of
Kent" the bull Palmer & Bowman paid $500
for. The pedigree of "Hogarth" is a proud
one. He was got by Raleigh No. 1892 the
Rennick Rose of Sharon Bull used at the Agri-
cultural Farm at Blacksburg, out of Illustrious
the 5th, of Abraham Rennick's celebrated H.
Iustrious family. 1t is seldom, If ever that our
people have had an opportunity to see such
bull.

is but few weeks since orders we're

A sHohT time since the HERALD
published a number of interviews
with persons interested in the way OF
handling freight at San Pedro harbor.
The point OF the matter was that the
new steamer, the Southern California
had found SO much difficulty and de-
lay in discharging at our port that she
would hereafter proceed TO San Diego
to unload her coal which is meant fur
use in Los ANGELES. The captain de-
cared that he would not come
into San Pedro again. True
to his word the skipper passed with
his shi p and entered San Diego Bay
Now San Pedro has revenge. The
steamer lay eleven days in the bay a,
San Diego, at the end of which time
she had discharged seven hundred
tons of her cargo. The Captain after
doing all that in him l'y to expedite
matters, and finding that he had left
the San Pedro frying pan only to be
pumped into the EBAY and Climate"
fiery furnace, like that ten-timeS heat
ed into which the three Hebrew ex-
lies were cast in Babylon, he weighed
anchor and returned to our WHAT,
where in two DAYS he discharged
eight hundred tons, and yesterday
sailed north for another load. The
boys at San Pedro are in great glee in
this discontinue of their rival to the
south.

IDEAL beyond all conception is the
foot hill region of Los Angeles county
as place of residence. To people OF
leisure and to valetudinarians these
attractions surpass those of any other
spot on the globe. 1t is these I'M
rivalled features of this region which
have caused Pasadena to spring like
Minerva full hedged from the brain OF
Jove. Imagine the San Pascual ranch
containing city of $1,000 population.
And that city has banks, churches,
schools, public libraries, street cars,
great hotels, an opera house and ali
the belongings of city. So great is
the rush Of settlers to this charming
region, that the tide of improvement
has swept past Pasadena, and now
flows at flood for ten miles beyond
her. The Sierra Madre colony is
an mbryo city in itse'f, and it
is fanked by Lamanda Park, another
delightful spot at the base of the
mountains. Further on, Monrovia
has grown from one house to be a
place of 1900 people. In a few days
a vote on incorporation will be taken,
and this new candidate will take her
place among the veritable cities of the
land. Her buildings are not less
stately nor less substantial than those
of Pasadena. Monrovia has her
banks, her hotels, her street cars,
schools and what not, and
all the outgrowth of less than two
years of entt rprise. Now she too is
talking OF a grand opera house and Of
another hotel, this latter to cost $780,
300. She will get both of them for

Sierra Madre colony lies Arcadia. H.
speaking of this new town thu

posed that Arcadia lies lower thai
Monrovia, but that an actual surve!
shows the two places to he on tn,

have been graded, and they seen

rivals. The journal referred to goet
on to say that by the first of January
there will be fifty new edifices com

with Monrovia. That is why the pa

TELEGRAPHIC advices from the
Northern citrus belt inform us that at
some points in that climatic paradise
the mercury has descended to eighteen
degrees above the zero point. That is
fourteen degrees below the freezing
point of water, and is frigid enough to

of the earth. Yet we will be told
next week that every acre Of the CEN

AVERAGE Republicans must be in a
dilemma as to how they shall cast
their votes at the approaching munich
pal election. The Prohibition ticket
is made up almost to man of as
good Republicans as there are II the
bailiwick. The Republican ticket is
composed, with scarcely an exception.
OF as straight-laced lot of Prohihi-
tionists a. are to be found in the cold
water list. In other regards there is
not very much to choose between the
two. There are very Objectionable
names on the straight Republican
ticket. Outside Of the Prohibition
preston, the ticket set up by that
faction is better on the whole. In
such case what is the voter to do 4?
Whichever ballot t Prohivitionist
casts he votes for one of his own SORT,
and if Republican cast Prohibition
ticket he votes for Republicans just
the same. A hair-splitting Greek
philosopher depicted a hungry don
key standing at point midway be-
tween two bales of hay SO exactly
equal in their attractiveness that the
animal, unable to turn his head from
one to nibble bite off the other, fell
dead between the bundles. He
starved to death because of the ex.
actly evenly balanced motives. One
Can imagine the Prohibition-Republi
c,n voter or the Republican-Prohihi-
ton citizen on the first Monday
in December in the same dilemma
and not able to vote at all. That
is likely to be the course a
multitude will take, while another
large number will descry the
most admi able attraction prepared
in the Democratic party right before
their faces, and they will forsake this
blrren moor of lean sumptnary laws
for the fine fell of clover-claI per
30 nal liberty. The detection from the
Republican ranks to the Democratic
camp will be memorial le

REPORTS from Europe outline a
stormy meeting between Prince Biz
marck and the Gar. The Teuton
man of "Blood and Iron" stormed,
and the more polite Muscovite dis
sembled and spoke OF peace. He
meant the same thing as the iron
Chancellor, though it was not his cue
to say it. Russian finesse is always a
hard matter to see the end through.

atteud the Caucuses.

Democratic caucuses in the various
wards will take place on Monday
evening, for the purpose OF nom'nat-
ing nine members OF the Council and
three of the Board of Education. The
ticket of the Republican party and
that of the Prohibition wing OF that
organization have been published
Outside Of the temperance question
and the crusade proclaimed against
one class of the people whose business
is to BIZ molested, the tickets are weak
at several points. So vulnerable
ar some of the candidates from the
st IN dpoint Of good municipal govern
m ,nt th,t property-owners and tax
PAYERS will not vote for them. There
will be a big detection from the
Republican ranks on the Pro-
hibition issue. This stampede will b.
in two directions. Many will vote
the Prohibition ticket, and many
others will go to the Democraticnomi
nees. With good men in the field our
ticket can make clean s0 eep nevery
ward in the municipal ity. There is
only one way to get good men. Lei
the voters in all parts OF the city turn
cut in force on Mondav night and see
that no unfit person gets Oh the ticket
for ny office. The administration OF
aft lirs here has been notably weak
under Republican rule. This Is II
critical period in our history, which
needs men of broad views,
of progressive policy and ex-
peri 4nce. Look at the police
ofi;e to-day, and the notorious scan
dals connected Herewith. Conte n
plate the numerous fiascos male in
that o flee ever since the Republican
party came into power. A wise and
vigorous policy is demanded there, a.
in all other departments OF the
Municipal Government. If the best
names on both the Republican tickets
now in the field should be elected,
the ad ADMINISTRATION of our affairs will
be very lame. So split are our oppon-
ents on these very points, and SO
ready are the voters to go for god
men without much respect to purity
affiliations, that all lies in the
nomin iti ons we make on Monday.
Recall Mr.. Cleveland's letter to Il
Board OF Trade the other day, touch
ing the duty of business men to take
part in politics. 1t is sound wisdom
1t is the hope of our institutions.
Come out tomorrow night and help
make a good ticket. The hours and
places of meeting in the several wards
may be found in our local columns.

but do citizens duty in this respect.
